7 Best Ways to Transition Your Skincare From Fall To Winter

Winter is soon to arrive and with this it is time to update your look. Once people hear this, they think of transitioning their clothes, but there is a more important area they need to consider, and that is the makeup they wear. Labels will have you believe that one product will suit you all year but the truth of the matter is that your skin will not always be the same throughout the year. While in fall you may be quite greasy, you will dry out during the winter, and literary begin flaking. Some of the areas like lips need extra care in winters. There are things you can do to help your skin transition naturally.

Read the product buzz words

Because your skin is flaking like the snow because of dryness, you need products that nourish, hydrate and moisturize so your skin can keep looking like it did not feel the effects of the changing weather conditions. So, ensure that your toners, moisturizers, and cleansers have something suggestive on their labels. A general rule of thumb is that gels and foams are not as great as creams when it comes to moisturizing. It is also better to choose concentrated products because they help your skin lock in the moisture and thus keep it smooth, glowing and healthy; this also helps to remove any blemishes you may have had after basking in the sun.

Colors

One terrible fact about winter is that it has a dreadful way of washing you out. While a bronzer will work for most of the seasons, it may end up making you look washed out and too pale in winters. It is time to warm yourself up and make your best features pop. Contouring is the way to go. Contouring allows your skin to look bright while a bronzer helps hide some of that glow in your skin. It is important to ensure that you select the right shade for your skin. It is also a great way to highlight your best features and achieve that flawless look everyone wants.

Add a little Serum

You are probably wondering why you need serum in your makeup. If you are not yet 30, you probably don’t think much about products that have got written anti-aging on their labels. Most serums have this feature written on them in bold letters. However, whether you are looking for anti-aging products or not, serums add an extra layer of protection that protects your skin from the drying effects of the winter season. Ensure your day and night serum is filled with essential oils. Apply the serum between your toner and moisturizer twice a day to ensure your skin is adequately protected.

Remove your Makeup with Oil

Most of the over the counter makeup removers are filled with alcohol; this can seriously dry your skin. Do not try to copy celebrities and make yourself use drying products. You will not end up looking anything like them. In fact, you will end up with a face full of zits, and it is not pretty. If you cannot find any makeup removers that have oil in them, make your own using coconut oil and olive oil. This will help remove the makeup and nourish your skin at the time. It will also make the process of removing makeup easier on your skin.

The topical Acne Medication

Most of the medication that is used to treat acne pimples usually does its job by drying them out and inevitably, this dries out the skin too creating more discomfort and skin issues. This results in peeling and flaking and using makeup causes constant itching and discomfort which are terrible to deal with in the cold season. Something you probably do not want to deal with throughout the winter season. Skin the acne treatment or consider using more natural methods of clearing the acne. A little tea tree oil on your zits before you go to bed will make your skin get better. If you can, find out the cause of the acne and treat it right from the source.

Your Lips

While you may get away with nude lipstick during the winter and look amazing, the winter can be a very dull season. You may, therefore, want to go with bold shades of lipstick to draw attention to your lips especially as you wait for your skin to get used to the weather changes. It is also critical that you leather on lip balm religiously. You may also want to use an exfoliator every few weeks to get rid of dead skin from your lips and make them soft and smooth without any cracks your lipstick will also stay on longer and look better.

Moisturize and Moisturize again

Just because it is cold, it does not mean you have to drink less water. Water is the number one way to hydrate your skin. It is therefore critical to ensure that you keep your skin moisturized from the inside out. Water also helps your skin to excrete toxins and give you that glow you need. You also need to moisturize your skin like you would any other day. Use a moisturizer that has sunscreen, moisturize and foundation it will protect your skin and give you that glow you want and keep your skin softer and free from discomfort.
